So an early start today and marking out the boot opening to be cut.



No turning back now angle grinder out and boot hole removed.




The black line shows the amount of body to be removed to make the opening square. so this was removed along with some of the top and sides to make it all a square opening.



the boot opening is now square and now requires fiberglassing in place. To hold the boot opening in position I fitted marine ply wood and srcewed it to the main body to hold it secure while it was fiberglassed.






So a quick lesson in fiberglassing.



I ended up with the boot opening joined back onto the main body and square







The whole process took about four hours and I learnt a valuable lesson in fiberglass which I am great full for been shown. Maybe it was a bit over the top but I now know there shouldn't be any problems with alignment or with the boot opening on an angle. It just means i have a bit more prepwork filling in before paint.

When said Fiance came home from work I got an is the red stuff staying on the car but approval that the car was correct height.
